In October 1975, the then military government under General Murtala Mohammed de-established the university and declared it as a separate institution.<\/p>\n<p>The first Vice-Chancellor of the University of Jos was Professor Gilbert Onuaguluchi. Classes began at the newly organized and recognized institution in October 1976 with 575 students spread across four faculties which were: the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Education, Natural Sciences and Medical Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>Post-graduate programs were later added in 1977. The faculties of Law and Environmental Sciences were established in 1978 while the Faculties of Arts and Social Sciences were separated.<\/p>\n<p>University of Jos (UNIJOS) offers courses and programmes leading to officially recognized higher education degrees such as Pre-bachelor degrees, that is Diplomas, Certificates, Associate or Foundation degrees; Bachelor degrees, Master degrees and doctorate degrees in several courses of study.<\/p>\n<p>Unijos has been making progress and in 2003, the\u00a0Carnegie Corporation of New York\u00a0gave the institution a\u00a0$2\u00a0million grant to form its own fundraising department.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Contact Address of the University of Jos<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>University of Jos, P.M.B. 2084 Jos,<\/p>\n<p>Plateau State, Nigeria<\/p>\n<p>Postcode: 930001<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>University of Jos, also known as Unijos is a Federal University located in\u00a0Jos,\u00a0Plateau State, central\u00a0Nigeria.
